Episode 40: Confidence vs. Arrogance

Confidence and arrogance are very different things. They are both emotions, but come from different mindsets, and look very different.

And yet. 🤓 We sometimes confuse them. We think that our confidence will come across as arrogance. We also often think of arrogance as all bad, and judge it harshly in ourselves and others.

Today on Joyful Leader, we’re breaking down each of these emotions. We’ll talk about their differences, why a nuanced understanding of them is important, and how to tell them apart for yourself.

Thanks for listening.
